btw buffalo, you should read Beck :P

Fixed that for you. The anime cuts out the entire trip to America. Plus, the translator of the official English volumes (in NA anyway) was the same translator who did the first 15 or so volumes of the scanlations.

@Buffalobiian:
Ui is just one of those doesn't come off very confident, modest, "proper" Japanese students. She doesn't assume that she will make it into the school because that's just how a lot of Japanese act. This is not indicative of how difficult the school is to get into.

Yui didn't study for exams even before she joined a club because she's just a ditzy, space cadet kind of girl. They showed her flashbacks with her friend at the beginning of the episode, even playing in the sandbox Yui just sort of drifts off into a Clannad-Fuko kind of state.

The reason no one liked Miyuki (the rich girl) from Lucky Star is because she actually got the least screen time by an overwhelming margin. Even Konata's cousin got more screen time. It made me very disappointed at the end of the series when I realized this.

The focus in that series was to force most of the viewers to be drawn to at least one of the twins. It worked too, because the amounts of fan art for the two of them are the largest. They're doing the same thing here with Mio, and all of you fell for it.

whoa, forgive me, but I'm not taking the time to read y'alls entire conversation O_o.. only gonna comment on the last line of the first post, which I fully read...

no I didn't. Mio is down there with Ritsu, just above her, but nowhere near mugi or yui.

she reminds me far too much of Yomi from Ga-Rei: Zero, whom I didn't like.

personally I see her personality as too like.. overly drawn out. like, her character type of being the shy frail girl, seems well.. maybe not the most drawn out (Yui's character type is, easily.). but her's seems the most annoying to me, IMO. she's the only one who when her character personality type comes into play, I don't like laugh out loud.

after the fist episode she seemed like, cool and intelligent. she seemed like the normal type with common sense, and the brains that've gotten Ritsu through life. But like, then when they started playing off her overly frail shyness, I just got really turned away. and it probably didn't help her that at that time i noticed how awesome Mugi is.

i don't know if I see her being anymore forced than the other characters, but she's definitely picked up as the fan's favorite. I'm not into her though.
